My Project

The small things that we take for granted are a huge deal when dealing with these demographics.

Teaching on a 100% at-risk campus brings comes with some very unique and specific challenges.

Limited budgets and strenuous qualifications to receive funding make it necessary to use personal resources for things considered "basic".

This project will allow for me to get these seemingly "non-essential" but essential items without exhausting my personal resources. It makes a huge difference to not have to worry about the little things in a classroom that already has so much more to tackle.
